Bending Dies For Sheet Metal

Ohio laser offers professional state of the art precision metal.

Bending dies for sheet metal. 250 tons maximum capacity. If you have any questions or want to discuss your design contact us. How to bend sheet metal without a brake in 4 different methods with minimal or homemade tools. Also known as press braking flanging die bending folding and edging this method is used to deform a material to an angular shape.

We are here to help. When folding sheet metal if the resulting radius is less than the thickness we are bending then the extra material must go somewhere and can cause an undesirable deformation. Shop 181 sheet metal bending dies at northern tool equipment. The force must exceed the material s yield strength to achieve a plastic deformation.

How to bend sheet metal without a brake. When bending steel no material is lost and no material is gained. Choose a bend radius that matches your minimum bend. A radius that is larger than the thickness of the material has no aesthetical issues.

Independent 6 axis back gauging. Since the stroke depth is adjustable on the machine air bending lets you bend sheet material to an arbitrary angle without replacing the die or punch tools. The opening of the bottom die should be. These dies do not control metal flow and cannot prevent the metal from wrinkling or buckling.

A cutout or the edge of your flange to your bend. Bending at ohio laser consists of multiple press brakes with varying bending capabilities including. Determine your minimum bend by measuring the distance from your closest feature i e. This is done through the application of force on a workpiece.

When bending the stainless steel plate with the thickness of 2 0mm including 2 0mm and the cold plate under 3 0mm including 3 0mm adopting the lower die with v opening 6 8 times the thickness the r angle of the bending edge can withstand the frequent bending of 2000000 times convert into years calculated based on the bending die can be used for 200 000 times within a year and can be used for 10 years and the abrasion of the cutting edge within 0 03mm. They are used to form simple parts such as brackets and braces made from thick stiff metals that are more wrinkle resistant than thinner metals. Bending length up to 10ft.
